Cheese Platter Under a Dome Limoges Box

An assortment of cheeses waits under a serving dome, as if the host has just set out the board before guests arrive. This platter is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Say Cheese

France is famous for its hundreds of cheeses, and a well-kept cheese board is part of many French dinners. This piece brings that tradition to the shelf, with the cheeses on their platter and the dome over them all painted by hand.

Gifts for the Gourmet

It suits a cheesemonger, a wine and cheese club member, a caterer or a friend who never travels without visiting a fromagerie. It also makes a nice hostess thank-you after a dinner party with a memorable cheese course.
